How do I synchronize my iPod to the same Aperture library every time?

(I don't know whether to post this under Aperture or iTunes.)
I have a very large photo library. Because the library is larger than my MBP's internal hard drive, I have to keep it on an external drive. Of course, this means that iTunes will remove my photos from my iPod if the external drive is disconnected when I sync.
My idea was to create a second library specifically for the few hundred photos I want to keep on my iPod. However, iTunes only gives "Aperture" as an option, and only shows the library I'm currently using. If I'm using a different library, then the next time I sync, all the photos disappear from my iPod.
What I want is to have iTunes sync my iPod with a specific Aperture library, whether or not it's the one being used at the moment. Is this possible?

Hello Jody,
Congratulations on your new computer! If you successfully transferred your media from your previous computer to your new computer, you should be able to sync that content to your iPod using the usual syncing steps outlined in the article below:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

How do I sync multiple iPods to the same iTunes Library?

How can I sync multiple iPods to the same iTunes Library?

The same way you sync just one. If y want different media on each iPod then only select the items you want synced to each iPod
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Try syncing using the manual method
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
Also, I would go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says prevent iPods... for syncing automatically so that you can more easily check what you want syned

How can I sync my ipod to the i tunes library in my computer? and how can I make sure each Cd I play automatically is saved onto the Ipod?

How can I sync my ipod to the i tunes library in my computer? and how can I make sure each Cd I play is automatically saved onto the Ipod?
My problem is that if I open I tunes, the Sync ipod option in the menue is grayed out, and so not available.
This is starting to irritate me, so any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

I have the same problem. The Sync ipod option in the menue is grayed out, and so not available. HELP!

Can two ipods with the same email address face time independantly?

Can two ipods with the same email address face time independantly?

Hey Bumblebee, To each other, no-- would be like trying to call yourself on the same phone. To different persons on other devices??? Not sure you'll have to try, I'm guessing if both are online you may well dial up on both, (once had the same address on the my computer and iPod, both would ring when called, this stopped when I changed the iPod's address). If you change one of the iPod's e-mail address you should be fine. You'll have to do a little experimenting. Hope this helps, Good luck. Cheers.

Sharing the same Aperture Library between two Mac's?

gents does any of you manage to share the same Aperture Library between your iMAC and a MacBook?
How can I do it without risking to lose anything or to jeopardize the integrity of my library backup?
the idea is to work on Projects while I am on the move and placing them back into my Main Library sitting on my iMAC at home...
Thx!
P

For each project you want to work on, CTRL + Click the project and "Export -> Project as new library". These new temporary libraries can be moved to your MacBook for working on.
When you come back, import the libraries back to your main Aperture Library with "File -> Import -> Library" and choose to merge your changes. The changes you made will be added to your main library. The temporary libraries can then be deleted.
Deleting them avoids the temptation of working on them later, possibly creating conflicts. It best to export new copies from your main library each time you work away so you know you have current up to date versions.

HT1645 whether i use a DL DVD or just a DVD R, it tells me there was an error during multiplexing. I have tried changing every setting, best performance, professional quality, etc. and still get the same error message every time i try to burn to dvd.

whether i use a DL DVD or just a DVD R, it tells me there was an error during multiplexing. I have tried changing every setting, best performance, professional quality, etc. and still get the same error message every time i try to burn to dvd.

Welcome to the forums.
Looks like that error message does refer to encoding (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1645) but a problem could be that your video has to be reloaded into iDVD if you started the encoding process and then switched settings. You could start a new iDVD project, or try deleting encoded assets.
Let's start from the beginning -- what length of video are you trying to fit on the DVD? (this will indicate what encoding options you have). Double layer DVDs can be finicky and are used for video more than 2 hrs long.
Use good quality media -- Verbatim is often recommended around here, and I've used Sony DVD-R with good results.

Some time ago, I attempted to download 2 episodes of Criminal Minds tv show. It downloaded for 2 days before I realized it. I stopped and tried to delete both episodes after several more efforts with the same result. Every time I ANYTHING now, those same two episodes show up again and start to download again! I can't make them go away! I have successfully deleted songs and audiobooks over the last year, but these tv shows won't stop downloading and delete. Any suggestions. Thanks - danafromcripplecreek.

Why start a new and very similar thread to your other one which you have not responded to (have you read the replies?)
I suggest that no response is made to this duplicate thread.

I have an iphone 4 connected to my imac/itunes using a designated email address. However, I also have an 80gb ipod classic which is connected to my general email account. How can I transfer my ipod to the same account as the iphone

I have an iphone 4 connected to my imac/itunes account using its own designated email address. However, I also have an 80gb ipod classic which is connected to my general email address. How can I delete this and transfer the ipod to the same account as the iphone 4. Thankyou

iPods, iPhones, and iPads aren't tied to one particular iTunes accout/Apple ID. So there are no special instructions to follow to allow you to sync it with your newer account. Simply sync it as you would your iPhone 4.

How do you sync two Ipods to the same MacBook?

Have a nano already synced to my MacBook. Want to also sync my 5th gen 30GB Ipod to the same MacBook. Have only had my MB for 3 months after 18 years of PC platform (yes I'm drinking the KoolAid baby.) This notebook is fantastic.
An issue I had with my old PC was that you couldn't sync two Ipods to the same PC unless you held down the shift key while accessing ITunes to select a library - or something like that.
Please tell me that if I plug my 5th gen into this MacBook it won't overwrite my nano songs/info that are already on this MacBook? Apple has to have done it easier than how I had to do it with the PC. Any help from you experts out there will save me a ton of grief..........Thanks! R.Ty

Thanks!
No problem.
My issue is however that in addition to all of the songs that I have purchased via ITunes, I have about 600 songs from my own CD's on the 5th Gen that if I restore will be gone. Time - yes....money - a little.... It would be great if I could de-authorize the PC it was synced to and now work off my mac....
In that case, check out these different media recovery options by Zevoneer for copying music from your iPod to your computer.

And check out this older post of mine on different ways to copy music to your computer from your iPod as well.
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12000345#12000345
What you need to do is first copy all the music currently on your 5th generation iPod to your new Macbook. Once you have done that, you are free to *Erase and Sync* it upon plugging it in, or restoring it via iTunes as described above.
And if you are adding purchased music, you will need to authorize your computer if you haven't done so yet. To do this, choose Authorize from the Store drop down menu in iTunes.

Can you connect two iPods to the same iTunes library?

This might sound dumb but I honestly have no idea - I want to purchase a second iPod but don't know if I can run them both from the same iTunes library? The new one I want is a shuffle so a much small capacity then my other iPod. Help.

you can use a virtually unlimited number of mobile devices with a single iTunes library. in fact, Apple wants you to buy as many of them as possible

How do you have two iPods on the same computer?

Hi everyone, I previously had an iPod mini installed on my computer. Then at Christmas my parents got me an iPod nano, and when I tried to install it on this computer, it made me delete all of the files from my iPod mini. I was then able to download my nano, and everything has been working out fine. However, my dad wants to get an iPod now, and I don't know what to do in order to keep both of our iPods on the computer. Can you please tell me how?
